Featured review
Q returns with some animal... things...
Q returns and manages to tempt Riker by sharing his limitless power with the Enterprise's First Officer during a surreal game on an alien world. Will Riker accept his new gifts and what will it mean for the rest of the crew?
De Lancie's welcome return as the larger-than-life Q always makes an episode worth watching, especially when he engages Stewart in a Shakespeare-off in Picard's ready room. The episode harks back to the more introspective moments of TOS but makes it more exciting and dangerous for modern viewers. A good effort and this is one of the first season's strongest episodes, in my opinion.
